Gumdrop is a playful little pup ready to find a family to help him learn and grow! He enjoys playing with other small dogs in his foster home and would love some little buddies to share his puppy adventures. Medium or large dogs are not a good fit with Gumdrop.

Gumdrop needs a patient family with older children who understand that puppies need gentle guidance, consistency, and time to learn. His housetraining is still a work in progress, so his family should be prepared for regular potty breaks and a few accidents along the way.

While he learns to walk confidently on a harness and leash, Gumdrop will need a secure physical fenced yard or a sturdy, secure exercise pen (x-pen) for outdoor potty breaks and playtime. He should never be off leash unless he is inside a securely enclosed area.

With patience, love, and a steady routine, Gumdrop will have the support he needs to blossom into a wonderful companion. Make sure the entire household it ready to consider Gumdrop before completing an application.
